Pinhole leaks, rusty water or an insurance letter about your pipes? Here is what Seminole homeowners should know about repiping, and how to get a free estimate from a licensed local plumber.
About Seminole
Seminole is a city near Lake Seminole with 19,364 residents at the 2020 census. It was incorporated in 1970, and its population more than doubled in the 1980s, from 4,586 to 9,251. (Source: Wikipedia, Seminole)
Seminole's 1980s growth means polybutylene is a real possibility in many homes, while older homes in the surrounding area often have copper or galvanized lines.
What's likely in the walls of Seminole homes
The year a home was built is the best first clue to its plumbing. These are general patterns, not a diagnosis. Remodels and past repairs change what is there, and a licensed plumber confirms it on site.
- Homes from the 1950s to mid-1970s commonly have copper or galvanized supply lines and cast iron drains under the slab.
- Homes built from about 1978 to 1995 may have polybutylene, the gray plastic supply pipe that many Florida insurers will not cover.
